I'm the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It's not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn't any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn't selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?

    I use the Mistel Barocco MD600. They have windows-only software but I've never used it. You can program everything on the keyboard itself.

    It works great for me on Mac and Linux with separate key map/macro layers. I'm also a fan of split keyboards so that's an added benefit.

    Yeah there is one project for wayland which creates a virtual input device and hooks into the hotkey system in kde plasma, but it's jank af and adding more than one macro bugs out.

    It doesn't seem too complicated tho, might be a good beginner project for updating my 25 year old coding skills.
